It is like a mixture of Aurum (suicidal, succeeds never, ailments from
disappointed love); and natrium muriaticum (of course huge rx for ailments
from grief and separation). The propriety with which he was responsible to
his local online university community followed by suicide could be explained
by that ionic combination. We think of this rx mostly in uterine
complaints, but in vithoulkas/Scholten type "synthetic prescribing" this one
would be one to perhaps study as having been a candidate in the case
depending on whether the below picture fits -- as was Aurum muriaticum
already suggested. Thanks for the exercise.

====================
AURUM MURIATICUM NATRONATUM (VERMEULEN SYNOPTIC 2)
REGION
FEMALE ORGANS. Glands. Bones. Digestion. Bloodvessels. * Left side.
LEADING SYMPTOMS
M Justice.
"Natrum muriaticum switches the need for justice in Aurum to the
thought: 'I know what you are up to.' No real suspicion. He does, however,
quickly form a definite opinion about somebody. With Natrum muriaticum, such
an opinion is usually correct, but not with this remedy." [Vrijlandt]
M Reserved.
"Similarity with Phos., a remedy that also has a tendency to the
formation of fibromas. However, where Phos. is open and warm, Aur-m-n. has
no trace of this characteristic. The similarity involves the refinement,
sensitivity, receptivity, and even the charisma, but that is where the
similarity ends, because the openness and the strong contactual qualities of
Phos. are lacking. On the contrary, Aur-m-n. is sooner reserved, diffident
and closed during initial contact." [Vithoulkas]
M Cover-up.
talking about his suicide in an email and then doing it?...]
"They can have a sardonic, grim form of humour, esp. the cool, tough macho
type." [Wulfsberg]
M Daredevils. Accident - prone. Want to try anything new.
"They want to escape their inner disharmony, to compensate, to
cover up and protect their inner vulnerability. These activities also give
them approval and admiration, for which they have a strong need. They try to
conquer everything in themselves that they perceive as a weakness."
[Wulfsberg]
or:
M Cautiousness. Yielding.
Avoidance of any risks. Fear of undertaking anything new.
[from strong fear of failure and rejection] [Wulfsberg]
Oversensitive to being a burden to others.
M Compulsion - addiction [all Aurums].
[food addictions; abuse of coffee, alcohol, tobacco or stimulants;
excesses]
M Fear of strangers and feeling uncomfortable in social settings and
gatherings.
M Sarcasm or tendency to tease family members [to vent pent up
anger], esp. if treated unfair or criticised. [Wulfsberg]
"Aurum muriaticum natronatum is very close to Aurum muriaticum, with
the difference being that Aurum-mur-natr. is harder and more aggressive on
all levels. Mentally it is not as open and sympathetic as Aurum muriaticum,
it is rather more introverted and the element of anger is more pronounced."
[Springer, Hom. Links 1/97]
M Strong tendency to self pity.
M Eager to receive compliments and flattery.
"At the same time they often have difficulties in handling compliments
and emotions from others as this makes them feel out of control and
therefore uncomfortable." [Wulfsberg]
"They can have exaggerated expectations regarding the opposite sex and
relationships." [Wulfsberg]
G Chiefly used on general Aurum indications.
The Natrum muriaticum component increases the affinity with the
bloodvessels, the liver and the genitalia.
G Tendency to high blood pressure; with beating of carotid and
temporal arteries.
"Hypertension from arteriosclerosis, in sturdily-built people,
with a somewhat gloomy nature." [Vrijlandt]
G Chilliness.
"Great need of warmth, both physically and emotionally." [Wulfsberg]
G INDURATIONS.
Cysts and tumours. Warts.
G Suppuration of glands.
G Motion.
"All symptoms worse rest."
G Better Evening.
[dullness; headache]
G Boring pains.
[over left eye; skull; chest; tibiae; bones]
Pains drawing; pressing; stitching.
P Nervous dyspepsia.
& Tendency to diarrhoea after meals.
P Cramping pains in uterus beginning with coldness in abdomen.
